North Judson Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe read a letter of thanks into the record when town council members met last Monday.

Clerk-Treasurer Rowe explained that the letter was received from a resident who experienced an extremely unfortunate circumstance last year where he had his home broken into.

The subsequent response was a generous amount of community support that the individual wanted to recognize.

Rowe read from the letter, “The thief set a fire which caused considerable smoke and some fire damage. I am writing this letter to commend your excellent police and fire departments.”

Rowe kept reading, going into more detail about the key players who helped make this tragedy more manageable.

He continued, “Officer Frank Thomas was especially helpful and sympathetic, actually everyone in town who I contacted were most helpful and understanding. Just to name a few Marty and Corrine Lucas, Mr. Menis who closed the house for me and of course, Office Thomas who I am not able to thank and praise enough. Thanks for being such a supportive community, you guys are really great.”

The town council members and the officials who were present at the meeting expressed their gratitude to the individual for taking the time to show his appreciation.
